Monday. 21st. Accidentally slept in til my alarm because when I woke up earlier I thought it was 5:08 not 6:08 because my glasses were blocking the clock. Had an ok day. Fought with Powershell and XML. Put on beef brisket at lunch time. Labelled 166 photos before dinner and another 60 after dinner and cleaning up the kitchen. Then watched the second episode of Netflix's Pandemic documentary (I think I watched the first one Sunday night). It was filmed in 2019 and released in January 2020. Which makes the timing of it especially eerie. But omfg I can't stand anti-vaxxers. They're fricken dangerous.
Tuesday. Trying to concentrate on one thing, only to be hit with another big important thing, (it never rains but it pours) then had to go to a BS meeting in the middle of it all which was the biggest waste of my time ever. Third episode of Pandemic in the evening. Yesterday I'd had pain in my hamstrings, I'm guessing from all the weeding I did on the weekend, but Tuesday night my neck hurt if I turned my head side to side. Very strange.
Wednesday. Neck still hurt. Mostly worked on the two big projects that needed rules. Then the same firewall that caused me so much grief last year stitched me up again. Sigh. But did get caught up with photo labelling.
Thursday. Woke up at dentist time but didn't get back to sleep til after 4 :( Neck slightly better. But omfg all the stoopid. All the firewalls being stoopid and people being stoopid made me lose it. But there was cheesy garlic Subway for lunch and drinks. Finished up season 11 of The Simpsons. X Files, and 5th episode of Pandemic.
Friday. Neck slightly better. Busy day trying to get *one thing* done in between interruptions and questions and people wanting stuff. Lunch was pesto pasta I made (using jar pesto).
It rained a few times in the afternoon. At 4pm this was the light level in my study..
Finally got it done a bit after 5pm and tested it and it worked! Into season 12 of The Simpsons, then X Files. Then I watched Black Swan, which was pretty intense. I think I'd lose if I didn't know what was real...
Saturday. Did some washing but really nothing much all day :( Headed out to the club in the afternoon for a winter solstice carnivale. The brief was "colourful dressups", and, being winter solstice, I figured I could do Elsa again and get another wear out of the dress ;) (and finally got to use the hair pins that hadn't turned up in time last time). Numbers were down because of all the cancellations because of Covid.
Lots of food..
I had a relatively early night (maybe 10:30), but I couldn't get to sleep for hours. Felt too cold which probably didn't help. I lit the fire when I woke up after 7, but didn't get much more sleep. Got up and cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast, then went back to bed to try and get some more sleep. Think I got a smidgen. So didn't end up getting up til after 10:30 :( Went up to see if anything needed cleaning, but it had all been done, so just took away heaps of the leftovers. With assurances from people that the rest would get taken (last month I didn't take it all, but noone else took any, so a whole bunch of food ended up getting thrown out :( ). We put orders in online for Chemist Warehouse, but they still weren't ready by the time we got home. It was at least an hour and a half after putting the order in that we got smses. Hopeless. Headed out again (via the chemist) to Garran so I could get my second Pfizer jab!!!
They were a lot better organised (and had more staff on) so I was in and out in twenty minutes (five minutes signing in and answering questions and fifteen minutes after to make sure I didn't keel over). Had leftover club empanadas and potatoes and salad for dinner.
Watched the last episode of the Surgeon's Cut which I realised I hadn't seen, The Simpsons and the X Files with the sweetie, then the final episode of Pandemic: How to prevent an outbreak. Which really didn't have a whole lot on actually how to prevent an outbreak, only that we're underprepared if there is one. Covid-19 anyone?
And download and processed my photos from the week, and blogged. Last week my phone wasn't taking photos sometimes. This week I found it took like five in a burst a couple of times. Fricken hopeless Apple.
So far no symptoms from my jab, although I did warn people I may not be in tomorrow...

You look lovely as Elsa, it's a very pretty dress. Glad you are fully vaccinated. I had my first AZ jab on 17th June and due for the second on 9th September. The only real side-effect was feeling lethargic on the morning after.
